Personal injury law covers a lot of accidents and events that can have a big impact on someone’s life. The law has ways for people who are hurt by someone else’s negligence to get better and hold that person accountable. We help people who have been hurt deal with these complicated legal issues so they can focus on getting better and rebuilding their lives.
There are many kinds of accidents that fall under personal injury, such as car accidents, work accidents, medical malpractice and premises liability cases. Each category has its own set of problems and needs a deep understanding of the laws, rules and insurance practices that apply. Our all-around approach means clients get knowledgeable representation no matter how they got hurt.
We know injuries can affect more than just your health. Victims and their families have to deal with more stress because of the emotional trauma, financial problems and changes to their daily lives. Our job isn’t just to represent you in court; we also help, guide and advocate for you throughout the whole recovery process.
Insurance companies will use tricks to lower payouts and protect their profits. They may dispute how bad the injuries are, question whether the treatments are necessary or say that problems that were already there made things worse. We fight these tactics by being well-prepared, getting expert testimony and fighting hard for our clients.
The first consultation lets us take a close look at each case and give honest opinions on what might happen. We break down the legal process into easy to understand parts, talk about realistic time frames and list the steps you need to take to make a strong claim. Clients can make informed decisions about their legal options because of this transparency.
Medical evidence is what makes personal injury claims successful. We work closely with the doctors who treat our clients, specialists and independent medical experts to record all of the injuries our clients have and how they affect their daily lives. This partnership ensures all aspects of the injury are properly recorded and shown to insurance companies or juries.
Because Toronto is such a busy city, its residents are at risk of getting hurt in many different ways. Accidents are more likely to happen when there are construction sites, crowded sidewalks, heavy traffic and bad weather. If property owners, employers or other people don’t keep things safe, they may be responsible for any injuries that happen as a result. We have worked on many different kinds of personal injury cases, including cases where clients need a Slip and Fall Lawyer to help them after they fall on unsafe property. This breadth of experience means we understand different types of liability and can find all the ways our clients can get paid.
When you can’t work because of a serious injury, the medical bills add up fast and the loss of income is devastating. We seek payment for medical bills, lost wages, future care needs, pain and suffering and other damages related to the injury. Our goal is to get settlements that give our clients and their families financial security.
You need to plan and time your settlement talks very carefully. We look at each offer in light of the long-term effects of our clients’ injuries and their future needs. When insurance companies won’t pay fair amounts, we are ready to take cases to court and make strong cases to juries.
Because of the statute of limitations, there are deadlines to file personal injury claims. This means you need to act fast. But we also know that some injuries take time to fully show up and victims may not realize how bad their injuries are right away. We look at each case very closely to make sure all legal options are still open.
Communication with clients is still very important in every case. We keep clients updated on their cases, explain changes in the law and make sure they know what their options are at every step of the process. This approach builds trust and makes clients feel good about their lawyer.
